turcs Of the Presidents trip through Wis.
CONAN hayo go far bsen disappointing.
Two milwaukee, brewing firms have bcen
advertised by tho Presidents visit to

vote, but there arc no signs that tho vote
has been corralled. Col. Villas boom no q

land ticket next year doea not appear to
have increased under the patronage Of the
Preaident, nor hos his visit accelerated lis
growth In any way. When the intention
Of spending four days in Wisconsin was
announced from Washington 1t was be-.
loved to DO q clear indication that the
plan Of the Administration WAS 10 capture
Wisconsin at tho election next year. Thiu
belief has beon moro than strengthened
during tho thirty.siS hours Mr..
Cleveland has been in the
Badger State. Every movement has
pointed In that direction. Col. Wins, who
ia looked upon rs Clsveland's iayorite as
a candidate for Vice.Pres5ent, has boon
thruat forward rs the man who, next to
The President, was to receive popular ap-
plause. As a member OF the Preaident's
official family ho was entitled 10 recogni-
ton, but his prominence in the receptiou
ceremonies from the time tho party
crossed the State line has been 80 marked
as to attract universal notice. But Tho
political features OF tho ehow do not end
with the elort to boost Villas into the
Vice.Presldercy by making 1t appear that
bis popularity here would give the Elec.
toral vote OF Wisconsin to the Democratic
IN 1858. In order to do that the solid
German vote must be captured, and tho
visit Of the President and Col. Villas to the
establishments OF two rival Milwaukee
browers yesterday and the ublicssmplipg
Of the beverages there dispenssd was the
first move In that direction. .r
TASTING THE DEER.
II was first iatendsd to visit only schlitz
Park, but Villas friends, fearing tha. that
famous breEsr'a chief rival would bs Of.
Tended II tho tribute to beer ended at the
beer garden, inaisted that Best'n biz brow.
cry should have show. Cleveland WAS
therefore compelled to quaff the foaminv
lager at both places 20 that there Yould bs
no causo for complaint. As there was no
earthly reason why the President ehonld
visit q beer garden and brewery any
more than q dry.goods house or packing
establishment, his performance here is
looked upon as nothing more than an IN.
dignitled attempt to make himself solid
with the big brewers. Candidates. for Al.
dermen and Constable, aud even for NAV.
or and Sheriff, do the came thing, and pos.
sibly Mr.. Cleveland recalled some Of hia
Buffalo experiences yesterday afternoon.
II cannot be said that the spectacle Of the
Preoldent drinking beer haa helped him
in political way.
The performance ie talked OF every.
where, and while ell persons will treGt him
cordially while he is n CUES. OF W;acouein
he will find in tho end that the bid for the
GerGaa vote haB Gous him no good, The
State Is no nearer being Democratic TODAY
on account Of this undiguifisl action. bn.
there doea not seem to ba feeling OF con.
gratu!a:ion over the fact that the man
ayers OF the political end OF the show hod
the good taste to keep M.s. Cleveland
awsy from the beer places. Col. Villas.
too, must bs disappointed ;oyer the politi.
cal features OF the occasion. His friends
did succeed in manufacturing show OF
enthusiasm here yesterday BY otartiup
call ior aspeech from him, but although
the President specifically mentioned rim
in his speech at Madison, Villas own
home, to-day, very little applause was
elected. 80 lar IN bis speeches the Presi-
dent has mentioned only Senator Voor-
hees and Col. Villas. He had to mention
Voorhees, 10 find an excuse for naming
Villas. Voorhees, friends acknowledged
the compliment with cheers, but ViIae'
frienda didn't eeem numerous enough 10
provoke applause. an =,
THE SOLDIERS DO NOT CHEER CLEVELAND,
Great preparations had been made for
the visit to the Soldiers home and great
things had bssn expsctsa from the sold
iers. II was hoped that when tho Presi.
dent WIS brought face to face with the vet.
erans they would give reception that
would take tho edge off the rebel Gsp or.
der and the penaion vetoes. In this the
political frionds OF the President and tho
Chief Executive himself were dissppoint.
ed. Five hundred MANNED and brokpn
down soldse1s were drawn up in line when
the Presidential party arrived. The
president tooS or his hat IS he neared
them and kept it of aa he rode down past
the line. The soldiers gave him q formal
[ealute, but thst was ali. There was no
cheering, and for the most part stiff and
solemn ellence Was preserved. Many OF
the vetorans e!ernly looked at the crest
vetoer without salut!ng in any way. Here
and there was one who showed some in.
terest. but they were SO few as to acarcaly
be noticeable. The President and MIS-:
Cleveland both seemed TO be disappoint-
cd. They had expected much from tbs eold-
ier1 and received nothing. There was
slmost m appeal in Mrs. Cleyelsnd's lace
tor cheer, but it didn't come. The nj.
lenco Of tha veterans had its effect upon
all. Col. Villas and Col. Lamont both
showed their disappointment, The Marty
didn't enter the home. Their carriages
hurried past the battis.acarred vetorans
whose oppressive silence was so disap.
pointing. There aeemed great haste TO ret
away from It. The President gave eivh
Of relief when his csrriage got past the
line. The other carriages hurried on and
the party proceeded to the Northwestern
Railroad passenger station. They drove
down National avenue to Grove etraet.
